Happy New Year! 🎉

Our biggest competitor is ourselves, and we've outdone ourselves this year.

KAPLAY had its record in weekly downloads, and compared to Kaboom.js in the same period, that's 430% more downloads!

2026 is the year of KAPLAY!!! 🔥

These days I’m developing a small video game so as to pass time.
Here are some assets I made in pixel art. The villain comes from a child’s drawing!

I'm using the opensource library @kaplayjs.com

🧩 KAPLAY Crew Riddle Time! 🤫

I’m a member of the KAPLAY crew, not quite alive, yet I can haunt you. In games, I float without a sound, translucent, often roaming around. Who am I?
